Does core mobility of lumbar total disc arthroplasty influence sagittal and frontal intervertebral displacement? Radiologic comparison with fixed-core prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yesSAS Journal, 2009
An artificial disc prosthesis is thought to restore segmental motion in the lumbar spine. However, it is reported that disc prosthesis can increase the intervertebral translation (VT). The concept of the mobile-core prosthesis is to mimic the kinematic effects of the migration of the natural nucleus and therefore core mobility should minimize the VT ...

The Effect of Degenerative Changes on the Stressed State of the Intervertebral Disc and Adjacent Tissues: A Finite Element Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The work presents a finite element analysis of the mechanical interaction of adjacent tissues in degenerative conditions of the intervertebral disc. To address this, we developed a three-dimensional finite element model that included the L1–L2 vertebrae,

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

Development of a Physiologic In-Vitro Testing Methodology for Assessment of Cervical Spine Kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In-vitro biomechanical testing has been critical in the design and evaluation of spinal surgical instrumentation, however determination of realistic physiologic loading levels has proven difficult outside of the in-vivo setting.

Intradural Disc Herniation in the Lumbar Spine: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2020
Intradural disc herniation is a rare presentation of a common pathology, comprising around 0.28- 0.3% of all disc herniations. It occurs when disc material related to an intervertebral disc penetrates the spinal dura and lies in an intradural ...

Senolytic Therapy as a Preventive Strategy for Spine Degeneration and Pain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cellular senescence promotes inflammation, tissue degeneration, and chronic back pain. In sparc‐null mice, early oral administration of the senolytic agents o‐vanillin and RG‐7112 reduced senescent cell burden and pro‐inflammatory SASP signaling across intervertebral discs, endplates, vertebral bone, and spinal cord.
